Local rules
What a US distributor needs
Admission taxes per theater
State, county and city admission tax parts are entered per theater, added up and removed from gross before your terms apply.
Clearance zones
Each theater sits in a zone. A booking warns you when another booking of the same film in that zone and period has clearance.
Coverage by DMA
Theaters carry their DMA, and each film shows which DMAs its bookings cover.
